K/DA socials updated after 6 years: comeback rumors swirl around League of Legends group

• The refreshed profile image and banner still appear to use All Out promo art, now with bright pink and magenta flames.
• Riot Games has not publicly confirmed a K/DA return in the reporting available so far.

What happened

IGN says K/DA’s official social media accounts were updated again on October 13, 2026, after around six years with no visible activity. According to the report, existing posts were removed and both the profile picture and banner were changed. That makes the accounts look active again for the first time in a long while, although it remains unclear whether this is a planned teaser or just a visual refresh.

The new banner is said to still be based on All Out promo material from 2020. It features Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, Kai’Sa, and Seraphine, with bright pink and magenta flames layered over the artwork. That visual change has immediately fueled new comeback rumors around the virtual League of Legends group. The supplied social context also notes that the banner shows K/DA’s main lineup alongside Seraphine, who was tied to the All Out campaign as a guest artist at the time.

Riot Games has not issued an official statement in the provided sources confirming a K/DA return. For now, the reporting remains speculation, even if the timing is notable given that the group has released little new music or performed much since 2020. Another cited social reaction suggests some users are even linking the purple or pink visual effects to Fortnite and the Fortnitemares event, but that too remains fan interpretation rather than a confirmed collaboration or announcement.

Background

K/DA is Riot Games’ virtual music group tied to League of Legends. The core lineup consists of Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa; Seraphine was later added to the All Out campaign as a guest artist. The group was introduced in 2018 during the League of Legends World Championship, becoming one of the best-known examples of a game-linked virtual pop act.

The group’s first single, POP/STARS, received RIAA Platinum certification in 2022. According to IGN, that was a major milestone for the group and for a K-pop track by a girl group. In the supplied context, that achievement is also cited as one reason K/DA remains a notable name in both gaming and pop music.

That was followed in 2020 by the All Out EP, which the reporting describes as the group’s last major musical era. The current social media update visually reaches back to that period, since the banner reportedly still uses the same promotional base, now with added bright pink and magenta flames. That detail is important because it is what is driving the new rumors, even though Riot itself has not announced a comeback.

Earlier this year, a datamine from a Wild Rift update reportedly pointed to a possible Firestarter tie-in, according to IGN and other cited sources. That detail has not been officially confirmed and is only mentioned in the current reporting as another reason for speculation. The social reactions quoted in the source are also cautious: they mainly note that the banner has been updated and that some users are reading a possible Fortnite link into it, but there is no official source for that.
